Morphology
bewildered = bewilder (semi-transparent) = be + wilder + ed
Formed by standard past-participle/adjectival '-ed' from the verb 'bewilder' (be- + wilder).
Etymology
Bewildered is made from be- plus wilder, which is related to the common word wild and once meant 'to lead into the wild'. So, to be bewildered is to feel 'lost' or 'confused', as if you have been taken away from what you know and do not know what to do.
